There's another one called e100 which I don't think is in the debian stock kernels, it's a newer module than the eepro100 and apparently fixes some minor problems and is a little more efficient (this is all second hand never used it myself) There are a couple of Intel network modules and a few varieties of cards in that line so you might want to check for sure that you're using the right one..
